摘要： In this study, pectin was extracted from potato with the hydrolysis of cellulose, as well as its acid-induced and Ca2+-induced gelation behavior was investigated, too. The gelation process of unhydrolyzed pectin might be used as a model for studying the gelation behavior and characteristic of pectin within the cell wall. The results showed that potato pectin solution (3%) could form a gel state at a minimal concentration of 0.25% CaCl2 or a maximum pH value of 4.60. Furthermore, acetic acid-induced and CaCl2-induced gels were both concentration-independent. Specifically, the gel strength increased with decreasing levels of pH and increasing concentrations of CaCl2. Moreover, CaCl2-induced gels exhibited superior gelation characteristics with a higher storage modulus (7.2 Pa), larger fractal dimension (2.58), smaller porosity (12.11%), shorter relaxation time T2, and a denser gel network structure. This disparity stemmed from different mechanism: acetic acid provided H+ to combine with free carboxyl groups on the pectin chains, reducing the repulsion between pectin molecules, narrowing chain spacing, and fostering hydrogen bond formation; whereas CaCl2 promoted gelation primarily via the information of the "egg box" structure involving non-covalent bonded calcium bridges. This research could provide a theoretical basis for acid-induced and Ca2+-induced gelation of unhydrolyzed pectin extracted from the cell wall.
